Movie theatre popcorn is expensive. But before you complain, you might want to look at the world’s most expensive popcorn. Named Berco’s Billion Dollar Popcorn, the popular movie-time snack has finally had a major overhaul. Now it is fit for royal consumption. Who else can shell out $100 for a quart and $1,000 for 6.5 gallons worth? The most expensive popcorn is available in two other sizes too – $250 for a gallon and $500 for two gallons.

Why is it so expensive? The answer lies in the ingredients. Berco’s Billion Dollar Popcorn is created out of the finest ingredients sourced from around the world. The butter comes from the Vermont Creamery. Laeso, the world’s most expensive salt, is sourced from the Danish island of the same name. The recipe uses organic sugar for the caramel and Nielsen Massey Bourbon Vanilla. And to top it off, the world’s most expensive popcorn is garnished with 23-karat edible gold flakes. And as the Berco’s website brilliantly puts it, “Do you know who eats real gold? Kings, Queens, Tycoons, Fire Breathing Dragons, the guy who invented paper clips, and Unicorns that’s who.”

The Berco’s site also offers the best reason to eat its Billion Dollar Popcorn – “Now you get to do things like call all of your friends Jeeves and wear a crown without anyone questioning it.” The rare ingredients push up the prices considerably. But if you are looking for a billion-dollar experience, you can save up for a luxury serving of Berco’s high-end popcorn. At least, you do not have to pay a billion dollars for a taste. Sometimes, $100 is more than enough.
